The OrdinaryVitamin C Suspension 23% + HA Spheres 2%
Product Description
Highlights
What we say
Vitamin C was the most googled beauty ingredient of 2017 and with good reason! This treatment from the Ordinary may sound a bit scary, but it effectively evens out and brightens skin tone to reveal a glowing complexion. Apply a small amount in the evening after cleansing; we like to mix ours with moisturiser to save a bit of time.
Which skin type is it good for?
- Normal
- Oily
- Combination
- Dry
What it is:
A water and silicone-free stable suspension of 23 percent pure l-ascorbic acid.
Solutions for:
- Uneven skin tone
- Fine lines and wrinkles
If you want to know more
Vitamin C is an effective antioxidant and its pure form of l-ascorbic acid has been shown to improve multiple signs of skin aging while brightening the skin.
What it is formulated WITHOUT:
- Parabens
- Sulfates
- Phthalates
What else you need to know:
This product contains a 23 percent concentration of pure vitamin C, which remains completely stable due to the absence of water.
Directions
Suggested Usage:
-Apply a small amount to face in the AM or the PM (PM preferred).
Precautions:
-A strong but non-irritating tingling sensation can be expected after application. If the sensation is too strong to tolerate, the formula can be mixed on each application with other creams or serums of your preference.
-Due to the powder form of l-ascorbic acid used, this formula feels gritty for a few seconds after application. If you prefer to avoid this gritty feel, use the Vitamin C Suspension 30% in Silicone formula.

When I read the slightly mixed reviews on this I wasn't sure if I would get on with it but I absolutely love it. It makes your skin glow! I have oily acne prone skin and it doesn't make me break out either. It is grainy in texture so I'd recommend only using at night and if your pillowcase goes a bit orange, don't panic! It comes out very easily even on a cold wash. Just to warn you also it may tingle/burn somewhat, particularly when just starting out. This is normal. If it is tolerable then know it will calm down as you get used to the product. If not, try using less product, you don't need much, or even mixing with something else. If using with other serums etc let everything soak in as it can pile.

Good for me
Feels a little bit grainy on the skin and gives some irritation but makes my skin look bright and healthy.

Not sure about this yet
I'm unsure about this product. I mix it with a moisturiser and apply at night. I expected the stinging although not keen on the grainy texture. Yet to see any improvement!

Great stuff!
Good price, nice product but the gritty texture takes some getting used to! It does make my skin glow but not sure if I'd buy it again, or if I even need this high of a concentration of vitamin c for a bit of glow.

Not sure I like it
Don't really know what this is supposed to do. Not sure it's made a difference and has bits in which makes it feel like a scrub

I found this too harsh for my skin. I use Vit C in my daily skincare routine, my skin thrives on it, but something in this was way too much. Redness, harsh stings, very uncomfortable
Far too harsh for me

Hi! Can I use this cream and niacinamide serum in the evenings one after the other? Or should I use one in the eve and one in the morn? They both suggest nighttime use!
Hi there,
Thanks for reaching out to us.
The brand advises not to use these two products one after the other, but you can use one in the AM and one in the PM. I would recommend using the The Ordinary Vitamin C Suspension 23% + HA Spheres 2% in the AM and the The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% in the PM before your moisturiser/night oil.
I hope this helps!
Thanks,

Is the Ordinary bit C serum suitable for coloured skin. Like Asian-Indian skin?
Hi there,
Thanks for reaching out to us.
This product can be used on skin of any colour, ethnicity or race - it's not so much for lightening the skin colour, it's more for brightening the skin and providing radiance to dull skin. It also helps with lightening pigmentation marks, freckles and sun/age spots.
I hope this helps!
Thanks,
Chloe - Beauty Expert

Can this be used in the morning/evening ; while using Retinoic acid in the night.
Hello,
Great question!
You can not use the The Ordinary Vitamin C Suspension 23% + HA Spheres 2% with a retinoic acid I would recommend to use them on alternate days.
Happy shopping!
Thanks, Yasmin - Beauty Expert
